DEAL BOATMEN. DEAL, JAN. 24.—1 t is said that a number of these persons hare formed a Society or Club, un der the ostensible object of a Benefit Club, but in reality embracing the raising of Funds, it is sup posed for the defraying of Law charges, &c. &c. The Mayor of Deal, Mr. EDWARD IGGULDEN, Agent there for the lion. East India Company, has, it is sail, aho . been appointed Treasurer to this Boatmen's Club and for t!►eir funds (already amounting to a considerable sum), that Gentle man will pay them interest at 5 per cent. It offi,rds us great satisfaction to find that the Letters of LANFRANC on the Catholic Claims, which have appeared in THIS Paper, are so highly estimated thronithoitt the Country :—they are in a course of republication in The Staffordshire and other Provincial Newspapers, and will, we doubt not, make a deep and lasting impression on The Public Mind. We are happy to say, the Duke of YORK is so much recovered from his late accident as to have been able to take au airing in his carriage on Sun, day and yesterday. Yesterday the Earl of LIN , ERPOOL gave a Par liamentary (hurter to a number of Peers at Fife House. Lord CASTLEREAGH had a party of 44 Members of the House of Commons, at his House in St. James's-square. .At both the Ministers' dinners the . PRINCE REGENT'S Speech for the opening of the Session of Parliament this day by commission was read. The accounts. from Hanover state, that the marriage of the Doke of CAMBRIDGE with a Prin cess of Hesse Cassel is expected to be celebrated at Cassel about the middle of March, and that his Royal Highness, will' his Consort, will soon afterwards visit England, where they will be re married. It is said that a match was arranged in Paris, to take place between Lord CLARE and Miss Say.. MOUR, the proteg4e of Mrs. FITZHEREERT. The Right Hon. T. WALLACE, a Gentleman of well known abilities and .experience in public business, is expected, to be appointed Vice-Presi. dent,ot the Board of Trade. At a General Meeting, recently held at North Shields, of the Ship-Owners within the Tyne, it was resolved that every effort should be made to obtain an advance of Freight on Timber from . British North America—as the Freights of last year did not leave to the Owners of the ShipS em ployed in it a living profit. ROYAL ACADEMY.—Mr. TURNER gave his Sixth Lecture on Perspective last night. He pursued the subject of his previous Discourse' with further illustrations. , HE PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY bad a Dinner and Concert yesterday, at the Freemasons' Hall. Sir GEORGE SMART was in the Chair. The Duke of SUSSEX and many of the higher Patrons of the Institution were present. It is with pleasure we learn that Mr. HAWES' pri vate Subscription Concerts for the season com mence next Saturday.—Sir G.SsisaT is to preside at the Piano-forte. The most eminent instru mental and vocal Performers •will aid Mr. Hawes in the course of these Concerts, and • we have no doubt they will equal, if not surpass, those of last season. The Medical Collision which has taken !dace at the ‘Vestminster Hospital is likely to attract gene ral attention. We agree with Mr. GUTHRIE, 41 the assertion in his printed Circular, that the Trustees of this excellent Institution should not " sanction any measure which tends to make public Hospitals either places of private bargain and sale to the Medical Attendants, or of heredi tary succession, to the exclusion of all competi tion of talent;" and therefore trust that the attempt now made to impose on the Hospital another As sistant Surgeon, to the injury of the present anti- Able and eminent individual who fills that situa tion, and who has so ably performed the duties of a Surgeon to that Hospital, without any emolu ment, for many years, will not succeed ;--but that the Trustees will give a preference in the suc cession to Mr. WHITE, in the event of a Vacancy, who from his merits and services has strung claims to their support. The wish expressed by Mr. LYNN to nominate and appoint an Assistant Sur geon without ballot or election, is highly impro per, with reference to the true interest of the Hospital ; hut we think the determination of Mr. GurHate to offer himself a Candidate for Surgeon, in opposition to Mr. WHITE, equally liable on that ground to objection ; as we conceive, from the length and nature of the disinterested services of the latter, his claim to the suffrages of the Trustees to he irresistible ; and we hope that he will become one of the Surgeons of this Institu tion at the first vacancy. Mr. Fox's birth-day was celebrated by his friends on Saturday last at Freemasons' Hall. Lord HOLLAND was in the Chair. We have no objection to this annual tribute to departed talents, and rather think that it is honourable to the Parties concerned. But let them exercise the same liberality towards those who revere the memory of Mr. PITT, the wisest, most disin terested, and most virtuous Statesman that His tory can record. ROBERT Boat's.--The Birth-day of this favou rite Bard of Scotland was yesterday celebrated at the Crown and Anchor Tavern ; Mr. HENRY ERSKINE JOHNSTON was in the chair, and Mr. MAYWOOD recited an Ode written for the occa sion. 011 Thursday next the Anniversary of the Birth Day of that inimitable Scotch Poet, &arts, will be held.at Newcastle on Tyne, which, we under stand, will be very numerously attended. The Tottenham, for New ..South NVales, with the Derby Rioters on board, has returned to Sheerness from the Downs, having unshipped her rudder, and sustained other damages, which are to be repaired time. BREWERS-. FOR THE SUN. MIL EDITOR,--Observing the very laudable exertions in your Journal for promoting the much. desired abolition of the long iniquitous Monopoly by Public Brewers, sanctioned and assisted by many Magistrates, High Constables, &c. who are self-interested persons, 1 am induced to address you on this very important subject, and my pur pose is, to assure such as might be engaged in the discussion, and the ulterior exertions which are hinted at, that if the business is 'persevered in and brought before the House of Commons, there ►will be furnished such means of producing incontro vertible proof from various quarters, by persons perfectly competent to the task, that the beverage supplied to the Public by several Common Brewers is composed of such noxious and poisonous in gredients as are exceedingly detrimental and in jurious to the health and constitutions of indi vidnals, and it can be amply proved, that, be ! . sides many others, one person in particular, conspicuously connected with • ptiblic Brewers, has for many years supplied large breweries with immense quantities of noxious and deleterious drugs, for the purpose of manufacturing a spuri ous Article called Porter, Ale, &c. which can be proved to be of a most pernicious quality, and which, no doubt, has greatly affected the "health and lives of thousands in such manner and degree as is alarming to every one who is under the ne cessity of drinking such intoxicating awl perni cious trash. These Brewers' Droggists, it is well known, are not confined to supplying the large breweries in town, but in every part throughout the United Kingdom, of which a mass of evi dence can be produced before the House of Com mons, which must induce Ore Legislature to adopt some remedy not now in existence. I in tend being in town in 12 or 14 days; when I cer tainly shall feel it my duty to furnish further par ticulars on this most important subject, either to you or to the Committee, if one should be ap pointed on the occasion, it being a subject which, for many years, 1 have strongly desired to see sifted- to _the bottom. Although I am perfectly unconnected with any trade whatever, 1 assure you that some deeply implicated in such practices, as are alluded to, are my friends in more points of view than one. AN INDEPENDENT FRIEND TO REFORM, Where necessary (and practicable) for the Public Good. Jan. 43, 1815. LORD DARLINGTON. FOR THE SUN. EDITOR,—The Netveastle . and Durham Papers do not appear to have noticed Lord DAlt• LINGTON'S Subscription of 1051. "to the New Religious Tract Society founded by Mr. Hose," though The Courant thus designates the subscrip tion for him, and mentions that of 'Lord SEFTON and the Duke of BEDFORD. There is too much tenderness in this forbearance. Why is it so ? It may probably, from the general feeling of The Cou rant, have been expected, but not from The Durham Advertiser, whose loyal, constitutional, and pro testant feelings, are well known and duly appre ciated. But the time is at band when the two Counties will be rescued from their present igno minions state of Representation., A DURHAM WHIG. The Hole in the Wall, Mon,lay Night. GENERAL ELECTION. FOR THE SUN. The County of Kent is likely to be strongly con tested at ti , e next General Election, as two Gen tlemen of the independent interest intend •to offer themselves io opposition to the present two Mem bers, who, it is supposed, intend offering them selves again, but with little chance of success. A KENTISH FREEHOLDER. Mr. LEYLAND, it appears from the Provincial Papers, has signified his intention of standing for Liverpool at the next Election. Frotu this cir cumstance, and the rumours we have heard, it is by many thought likely that Mr. BIRCH will not go to a Poll. Sir JOHN GREY EGERTON has been induced, by the importunity of his friends, to consent to their nomination of him again as one of the Candidates for the city of Chester. A small party of Freeholders of Westmoreland, resident in London, have formed a design of op posing the Lowther interest in the representation of that county, and Mr. BROUGHAM is fixed upon as their candidate. In consequence, local Com mittees have been formed in various parts of the county, to resist this interference of the Cocknies, and secure the reelection of the present Mem hers, both sons of Lord LONSDALE.—(Newcastle Courant ) CORUETT, the most versatile of all Pr,liticia s, says, in a late number of his Political Register, that he is doing all in his power to incite the Westminster Electors to reject Sir FRANCIS BUR DETT on a dissolution of Parliament. His luke warmness towards the Reformers, apparent coa lescing with the Whigs during last session, and his suffering his son to hold a commission in the standing army during peace, are the chief politi cal sins urged against the Baronet. COBBETT says it is very probable he shall be present at the next election. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE: CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 26.—Our Senate House Examination is just over. The numbers are unusually large. The honours, &c. amount to gether to 206. Some years ago 100 was thought a large year. The Senior Wrangler is a son of CHARLES SHAW LEFEYRE, Esq. of Trinity. The Syn:licate, which was appointed to consider of the most eligible site for the FSDZWILLIAM Museum, have reported that the most convenient place is between KING'S COLLEGE and CATHERINE HALL. Some arrangement, however, mast previously be made with King's College, to whoai a consider able part of the ground belongs. SHIP NEWS.

The Rev. WILLIAM TURNER is the Lecturer. The first of the Series for this season will be on the fifth of next . tuunth—and on Mondays and Thurs• days in each week throughout the spring. The Society of Friends of North Shields has given a donation of Sgs. to the North Shit Ids and Tynernouth Dispensary. R. W. BRANDLING, of Low Gosforth, and G. T. LEATON, Esqrs. have given a donation of lOgs. each to the same inati. tut ion. The Rev. CHARLES THORP, Rector of Rytou, has distributed a large quantity of cloathing among the necessitous poor of his parish, particu larly at Winlaton. Some of the iron-workers of the latter place, who 12 months ago spread them selves over the country, collecting alms, on the ground of want of emiloyment. laid up sufficient money from the produce of their mendicity, to purchase a bull, in order to bait him ; and in de fiance of the remonstrances of their pastor and the respectable neighbours, enjoyed the inhuman sport until the poor animal was nearly torn to pieces !—(Newcastle Courant.) DISTRESSED SEAMEN —The following instance of robbery and gross ingratitude was communi cated yesterday to the LORD MAYOR, by the Corn, mince for relieving mendicant seamen, sitting at the King's Head, Poultry. The account stated, that Joseph Mason having been considered a fit ob ject of commiseration, he was humanely provided with food, clothes, and other necessaries, and finally sent on board the Sapphire receiving ship in the river, where, with others of his distressed companions, he experienced every comfort.-- On Saturday night, this ungrateful wretch con trived to enter the cabin of the officers, whence he stole two silver table spoons, marked " C. S. C.," two silver tea-spoons (crest, a wolf), two silver salt spoons, and a cellar. With these and other articles, including some clothing fur nished him by the Committee, he contrived to quit the ship, and has not since been heard of. The plate stolen by Alason was the property of Lieutenant Chappell, Commander of the Sap phire. Perhaps it may not he amiss, in order to the detection of this vile impostor and thief, to state, that he is about five feet three inches in height, with dark eyes and hair. When lie de camped he wore a red skirt, blue jacket and trowsers, and black bat.
